A former St. Louis Cardinals skipper will certainly be leading the cost against his old ballclub following season after being advertised to manager by a National League rival. " We (San Diego Padres) have consented to terms with Jake Cronenworth Shorts Mike Shildt on a two-year agreement to become our brand-new manager," the group revealed Tuesday. This move comes after former Padres manager, Bob Melvin, was employed to take care of the San Francisco Giants last month. The previous St. Louis captain uploaded a 251-199 record and led the Cardinals to the postseason in all 3 of his complete seasons during his power. Shildt even won National League Manager of the Year in 2021. After finishing with an unsatisfactory 82-80 document and missing the playoffs-- in spite of a $250+ million payroll-- the Padres are wishing to turn things around with Shildt leading the way. The Cardinals will certainly obtain their chance to contend versus a Shildt-led Padres when they head to San Diego on April 1 to start a three-game series https://www.padresshorts.com.
